Here are a few favorites from my session with the sweet Ozcelik family. I hope y'all are enjoying your new home in Turkey!

Hanging out with this family is always a super fun adventure and I look forward to it every time. We wanted to do a sort of 'day in the life' session to capture who their family is right now, doing the things they love together. What does that look like when you have two charismatic, energetic, fun-loving boys? Well… there are a lot of trampoline-jumping, frog-catching, rock-skipping, zip-lining, hammock-swinging, stick-poking, stair-climbing, tree-swatting, piggy-back riding adventures. And tons of laughter. I loved every minute of it (and slept really well that night, haha). Hats off to you, Beki and Will, for raising such fine young men and having such a blast doing it. xoxo

I have been dreaming of doing this session with my littles for a long time. Dreaming of making these sweet photographs for them to look at when they are teenagers and fighting over the car they will likely share. And for me to look at when we drop them off at college. And hopefully, one day, for their children to look at. I love being able to create something that is part of a family's legacy. Both for my clients and for myself. The days are long and the years are short when you have small children. I want to always remember these days.

My favorite people

Growing up, my mother took millions of photographs of my two siblings and I. She always had her trusty point and shoot camera nearby. But the closest we ever came to professional photographs of us was an Olan Mills portrait taken at church. Which is why these beautiful photographs, taken by our dear friends We are the Hoffmans, mean more to me than I can even put into words. This little family that I get to call mine are the three most incredible gifts I've ever been given. The amount of joy they bring me is something I am so, so thankful for. They humble me, push me to be better, lift me up, make me laugh, pick me up when I fall, and remind me that the journey is far more important than the destination.

Also, a huge thank you to Ana Bateman of Cline's Salon for my hair and makeup- you are amazing.
